Face dark - #12119

Aasha

I am really concerned about my face dark issues that have been bothering me for a while now. It all started about 6 months ago when I noticed my face darkening, especially around my eyes and cheeks. At first, I thought it was just tiredness or lack of sleep, but now I'm starting to think it's something more. I’ve tried different creams and brightening serums, but nothing seems to be helping. I even asked my friend, who is a skincare enthusiast, and she suggested exfoliating more often, but my face dark spots just keep getting darker. I went to a dermatologist last month who just recommended some sunscreen and a vitamin C serum, but like... I wear sunscreen already! I can't tell if it’s hormonal or just aging or what. I'm not sure if I should be worried about my face darkening or if it's normal. Has anyone here had their face darken like this? Did it just disappear on its own or what did you try? I'm starting to feel a bit down about it. Just really looking for any advice, thanks!
